It was a complex of buildings, built on the bases of an Enetic construction (1687-1715) in order to accommodate the Sisters’ of Mercy hospital. J. Kapodistrias constructed them to lodge cavalry’s barracks. During Turkish domination, it changed to an agora and lodged the Post Office. The government of 1824 voted the creation of University of Argos and purchase of a big building site, in which Kapodistrias built the cavalry’s barracks later on.
Neoclassic building constructed in 1829 from the governor of Greece Ioannis Kapodistrias (1st and 7th Primary schools, today). In this building convened the 5th National Assembly of the Greeks in 1831. Its openings took place on the 16/6/1831 by I. Kapodistrias and the teacher was N. Fandritis from Crete; his mother taught the daughters of the citizens of Argos (the first school older students would teach the younger ones).
The mansion where the great writer and politician Spyridon Trikoupis (grandfather to the later Prime minister of Greece) lived during the Greek Revolution of 1821. Today it belongs to the “Agrotiki Trapeza” (Agricultural Bank), which is considering using it after renovating it.
One of the most beautiful neoclassic buildings of the city. Constructed from the homonymous family in 1912, designed by Ernst Ziller. Intended to become the cultural centre of the Municipality of Argos when the renovation is complete.
A complex in the square of the barracks, designed by the architect of the Municipal Authority, Ernst Ziller, built in 1888. The mayor of the city then was Spilios Kalmouchos. Today it houses butcheries and other types of shops of the city.
Neoclassic building constructed around 1900. It flourished considerably until 1960. It was the main connection in the trafficking of people and goods to and from Athens with other cities of the Peloponnese.
One of the most beautiful neoclassic buildings of the 19th century, constructed by I. Kapodistrias (it is the current Town Hall). Argos was not fortunate enough to become the capital of Modern Greece, as suggested by many important politicians and others in the processes of 1833-1834, because Louis, King Otto’s father indicated Athens.
